Genomic Signatures of Malignant Germ Cell Tumor Progression: A Retrospective Study of Banked Specimens

Brief Summary

      RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory
      may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related
      to cancer. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer.

      PURPOSE: This research trial studies samples from younger patients with malignant germ cell
      tumor progression.

Detailed Description

      OBJECTIVES:

        -  Explore inter-tumoral heterogeneity in DNA methylation by tumor histology.

        -  Determine the genomic methylation pattern in the tumors.

        -  Correlate methylation pattern with tumor histology and clinical characteristics.

        -  Carry out exome capture and massively parallel sequencing on selected germ cell tumors
           (GCTs) and matched normal tissue.

        -  Perform exome capture and Solexa sequencing on a selected set of GCTs.

        -  Validate candidate mutations in an independent set of tumors.

        -  Determine the expression profile of mRNAs, lincRNAs and microRNAs in the tumors using
           RNA Seq.

      OUTLINE: Archived blood and tumor tissue samples are analyzed for genomic methylation
      pattern, exome capture and sequencing, and candidate mutations by methylation-specific PCR
      techniques, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays, and Solexa sequencing methods.
      Results are validated by using pyrosequencing assays and primer-extension assays. Methylation
      pattern is also associated with each patient's tumor histology and clinical data.
